Welcome to the
Essex Kindness Club

A community clubhouse for calm minds, strong bodies & kind humans.

Come see what's happening

Evidence-informed mindful mental wellness is a right,
not a privilege.

Come make the real-life neighbourhood connections you've been craving. Meet people interested in being active, healthy and kind. Raise your kids with healthy boundaries, self-awareness, gratitude and courage.

Big feelings happen

Take the trash out before you crash out.

We teach kids practical ways to notice stress building, understand what their minds and bodies are telling them, and experiment with strategies before they become overwhelmed.

Move. Breathe. Shake it out. Ask for space. Get support. Try again.

Kids practise:

  • Recognising what is happening in their bodies
  • Naming and navigating big feelings
  • Asking for space and respecting boundaries
  • Handling frustration
  • Losing and trying again
  • Recovering after conflict
  • Moving between high energy and stillness
  • Asking adults for support
  • Supporting peers
  • Repairing mistakes
  • Practising compassion without removing accountability
  • Finding mindful strategies that actually work for them
